Unit Remains Unselectable

[Zealot]

It works that if the unit casts the ability it will be removed from selection and will gain the Locust ability until the last trigger is executed. Thing is if the targeted unit dies before the execution of the triggers, another trigger gets started that should stop the other triggers and remove any attributes added by triggers until then.But while the unit becomes visible and is not invulnerable anymore, it remains unselectable. These are the triggers.

Bump.

Could you make it more cleaner? E.G. Adding spaces after Events so it looks like this:

• Dimensional Tear Debug
  • Events
    • A unit dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) equal to Dimensional_Tear_Target
  • Actions

instead of how you did it, so it's easier on the eye. Also: there is a feature in the editor that allows you to copy triggers, and then paste them as text. If you right click the Dimensional Tear Debug inside of the trigger, it will give you options to "Copy as text"

Changed them, is this better?

I think the "problem" is that this information is a block of text. Going through it and finding the problem will take anyone a bit of time. And since there's really no reward for finding the answer, you may have a hard time getting an answer.

You have to hide the unit when you remove Locust from it, otherwise it doesn't work.

• Unit - Hide MyUnit
  • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_MyUnit,'Aloc')
  • Unit - Unhide MyUnit

This seems to work too. I assume hiding it refreshes the unit's properties or something, which is why just unhiding didn't work.

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_MyUnit,'Aloc')
  • Unit - Hide MyUnit
  • Unit - Unhide MyUnit

Most trigger problems come in blocks of text lol.

Yeah this worked, weird how this works though. Thanks.

What can you do, triggers are serious business.
